Naturally and Beautifully Through Short Nose Surgery

This is Anplus Clinic, always thinking only of your healthy and beautiful nose.

This time, we have prepared information about short nose surgery.

When looking at the shape of a person’s nose, it can be classified into various forms more than expected. Usually, when people think of the ideal nose shape, they may imagine a straight, well-proportioned, high nasal line. However, if you feel that your nose does not match the standard you have in mind, you can look into rhinoplasty in more detail to improve it. Since the nose is located at the center of the facial features and is one of the most three-dimensional parts of the face, even a small change in its shape can have a significant effect on improving the overall image, which is why it is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures.

Therefore, among those looking into rhinoplasty, nose shapes can be divided into cases such as a low bridge or tip, a bumpy hump, an upturned nose, a crooked nose, a drooping nose, or a bulbous nose. In particular, if the nose is low and upturned, giving it a short appearance, the entire face may look dull or old-fashioned and feel unbalanced. For those with such concerns, it may be helpful to look into short nose surgery in more detail.

If you are considering short nose surgery, it is helpful to check before-and-after photos. Even if the nose shape looks similar to yours, the surgical method and materials may differ, so it is important to receive an accurate diagnosis of the condition of your nasal bone, cartilage, degree of upturn, and skin condition through a consultation. This can help you make a better choice.

In the case of short nose surgery, it refers to a nose with an upturned tip that shows a lot of nostril when viewed from the front. The causes of a short nose can be divided into congenital causes and acquired causes, such as scar contracture after surgery, which shortens the nasal tip. For short nose surgery, determining the exact condition of the nose based on the cause and then performing the appropriate procedure can help prevent the nose from becoming upturned again after surgery.

In this way, short nose surgery is usually considered because of concerns about the nasal tip. When the tip is upturned and appears blunt like a bulbous nose, it stands out more among the facial features and draws attention to the nose, so many people want to improve it into a sharper and more refined image through surgery.

At Anplus, to ensure that short nose surgery is performed safely and with satisfactory results, we conduct preoperative 3D-CT scans, internal endoscopy, various allergy tests, and nasal function tests to accurately determine the current internal and external condition of the nose. Based on the collected data, we establish and carry out the surgical plan.

Also, short nose surgery has usually been performed through septal extension and cartilage grafting, but at Anplus, correction is done by combining various methods such as septal extension, columellar support, skin extension, and cartilage grafting. This can help prevent the nose from becoming upturned again. Accordingly, the surgical approach for short nose surgery can be divided into cases where the upturn is mild and cases where it is severe.

If the upturn of the nasal tip is mild, strong autologous cartilage is used between the columellae to firmly secure the cartilage so it does not move, and autologous cartilage is grafted to the tip to correct the overall nasal line.

If the upturn of the nasal tip is severe, the septum is extended to sufficiently lengthen the nose, and autologous cartilage is grafted to the tip to correct the overall nasal line.

In this type of short nose surgery, preoperative testing is performed so that suitable materials can be selected for each individual. These autologous cartilages include ear cartilage, autologous rib cartilage, and septal cartilage. If the use of such autologous cartilage is unavoidable, it can be replaced with donor cartilage approved by the U.S. FDA.

In addition, silicone can be used for the nasal bridge. In this case, to minimize an artificial look after surgery, the silicone used is not taken as a premanufactured product as is. Instead, it is carefully shaped by hand while considering the individual’s overall image, as well as the width, length, breadth, and height of the nasal bridge, which can lead to higher satisfaction after surgery.

For those considering short nose surgery, it is important to refer to before-and-after photos. However, our nose plays an important external role and is also a functional organ responsible for breathing and smelling, so it is considered one of the more difficult cosmetic procedures. Therefore, if you are looking into short nose surgery, it is also helpful to carefully check whether the medical team has strong anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have sufficient experience and expertise, whether equipment is available to accurately assess the condition of your nose, and whether postoperative care is reliably guaranteed.

At Anplus, Director Yun Hyun-cheol, who has over 20 years of experience, personally handles one-on-one consultations, surgical planning, the procedure itself, treatment, and follow-up care for short nose surgery, allowing you to receive a high level of medical service from before surgery through aftercare.

For postoperative care, Anplus issues a membership card and operates an A/S system that guarantees support for one year after surgery, as well as a surgical responsibility warranty system that prepares for any postoperative pain, inflammation, shape dissatisfaction, or other possible issues. This allows you to receive clear benefits in postoperative care as well.
